Qatar is withdrawing from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) as of January 2019, Reuters cited Saad al-Kaabi, the country’s energy minister as saying on Monday.

The decision to withdraw from OPEC came after Qatar reviewed ways to enhance its role internationally and plan its long-term strategy, al-Kaabi told a news conference.
